--------------------
Chapter 3
He doesn’t remember why. He doesn’t remember why he died. He doesn’t remember why he was trapped. He doesn’t know.
Yet he found himself walking towards the door, opening it, smiling to the people he sees and following the direction where he truly belongs. Wherever it is, he doesn’t know himself but he was still walking towards it. Just…somewhere.
“He said my name is Ryeowook, nice to meet you!” Sungmin imitates but Kyuhyun doesn’t seem to be entertained even at the slightest. “You said Ryeowook was his name? So what, you gave him a name?” He asked with a pissed tone while leaning on the back seat of the car.
“He was joking, why are you upset anyway?” Kyuhyun asks when he finally settled beside Sungmin and he fixed his gaze outside the window.
“I don’t know…” He said, pouting and crossing his arms as the driver started driving away from the hospital. “I still don’t like him,”
“I figured by the way you were acting,”
Kyuhyun, who was looking outside the window, sat up straight suddenly when he saw Ryeowook outside the hospital, standing and looking everywhere like he was looking for something….or someone. He felt a bit guilty for leaving him but he can’t be responsible for him, he has his family after all.
“What’s wrong?” Sungmin asks the restless Kyuhyun halfway to his house.
Kyuhyun shook his head. “Nothing…”
None of them said a word after that until they reached home. Kyuhyun immediately scolded Sungmin for ditching Jongwoon just to see him. After their date last night, Sungmin promised to Jongwoon that he’ll go with him to go and buy something. And he’s here. He asked Sungmin to keep his promise and pretended to be angry to be more convincing, well he was always convincing when angry because he looks like he’s gonna eat you up. Or so Sungmin says. Afterwards, he walked inside his home, his dizziness fading away.
He walked to the couch and jumped on the soft fabric as he sighed, feeling at rest. He put his arm on his forehead blocking the sunlight that’s reflecting on him then he remembers Ryeowook. He tried to shake the thought away because there wasn’t any reason for him to be worried over a stranger at all.
He decided to get a sleep and went straight to his bedroom. But before he lied on his bed, he opened his closet and changed his clothes. And right at the corner of his eyes, he sees someone walking back and forth outside the house. At first he didn’t care but whoever it was, he was stopping at one moment, looking up at the house then resumes walking back and forth. When he was finally annoyed, he walked to his window to see who it was but instead of getting pissed, he was surprised instead at what he found.
“He followed me here?” He asks himself. He watched him for minutes. When he turns to his direction then accidentally meeting gazes, he would immediately look away then walk back and forth again.
He finally decided to go downstairs and talk to him. “Hey you,” He called but he wasn’t responding. “Did you follow me until here?” He asks him.
“I can’t be away from my halo,” He reasoned.
“Tell that to someone who’s buying your joke,”
“You still don’t believe me?”
“What does it look like?”
Ryeowook pouted. “But…I saved you and…”
“Even if you didn’t, I still won’t die,”
“I saw your name on the list of the people who will die this year,”
Kyuhyun gasped. “You shouldn’t be saying those things!”
“Sorry,” And he apologizes.
“What do you want anyway?” Kyuhyun asks, a bit of exasperated.
“I could tell you that I want my halo back…but if I do that, you’ll die,”
“Yeah…right…”
“But because I’m a nice person, I won’t do that,” He stated, with his usual smile.
Kyuhyun sighed. “I can’t believe I’m starting to believe an insane person,” He says while massaging his forehead.
It was then that Ryeowook’s stomach growled and Kyuhyun found it amusing seeing his face blushing of embarrassment. He chuckled slightly then pulled Ryeowook with him as he walks back inside the house, with Ryeowook not even questioning him.
“Wha….” Ryeowook gasps as he sees the meals being served on the table and he gulps. “I’m gonna eat it all?” He asks Kyuhyun innocently.
“If you want, but I highly doubt that all of this will fit into your stomach-“ Before he even finish his sentence, Ryeowook was already eating everything from one plate and he was going for another one. “I take it back,” He said as he watches Ryeowook swallowing everything.
An hour after that, he found himself sighing again, and glaring at Ryeowook when he pressed the wrong button of a bidet that caused the water to spray out and voila, total mess. He doesn’t know if Ryeowook was doing this on purpose or not, still, he can’t think of any reason why he would. Maybe he was trapped for 500 years.
“I’m really sorry,” Ryeowook said that nth time after the incident. “I didn’t know what it was so…”
“Look, its okay alright? You don’t have to repeat the fucking the same line again and again to make me feel guilty,”
“But I’m not trying to make you feel guilty…”
Suddenly, he heard the gates open. Alarmed, he immediately asked Ryeowook to go upstairs and hide inside his room. He fixed himself then opened the door when his sister knocked twice. He was lucky enough the maids are on day-off today that no one was here. “Hey sis,”
Ahra looked at him suspiciously. “I’m pretty sure we haven’t been separated for long…since when do you open the door when I knock?”
“Whatever…I’m the only one here, who do you expect will open the door?”
“I didn’t actually expect anyone to open the door,”
“Well, lucky for you, I happen to be downstairs,”
Ahra then paused and looks at Kyuhyun suspiciously. “Do you hear yourself? You never stay downstairs…are you hiding something from me?”
“Why would I hide something from you?”
“So you’re not?”
“Pfft, no-“
“AWH!” Ryeowook yelled from upstairs that got both Kyuhyun and Ahra in shock. Ahra probably knowing now glared at Kyuhyun and crossed her arms.
“You’re really not hiding something huh?” She asks mockingly.
“That was the maid,”
“No maids are in, genius,” She says, snobbing him as she walks upstairs with Kyuhyun still trying to convince her.
“I think it was the cat I found earlier!”
“I would love to see it,”
“But it bites! And it hates people, new people! And girls!”
“Sounds cute,”
“No! It’s not cute! It’s big and ugly and-“
“HEY! I’M NOT UGLY!” Ryeowook yells, opening the door that shocked both Ahra and Kyuhyun when Ahra was going to open it herself. “Oh,” He blinks at them.
“You?”
“HI~” Ryeowook greets with a big smile while waving.
“Hi~” Ahra waves and smiles back and immediately she shook her head realizing. “What are you doing here? Why are you hiding him Kyuhyun?” She asks turning to Kyuhyun.
“Umm…no reason…I-“
“You were doing something fishy, weren’t you?”
“NO. Don’t even start with that,” Kyuhyun replied, glaring. “I just thought you’ll be mad if you see a stranger inside our house,” He continued and Ryeowook frowned with the word stranger.
“He’s perfectly fine with me, he’s so cute!” Ahra squeals as she pinches Ryeowook’s cheeks. “And he’s not a stranger! He’s your friend, right?”
“Stranger to you,”
“Not anymore,” She giggles giving Ryeowook a big hug. “So why is he here???” She asks, completely anticipating for an answer, her arms around Ryeowook. She looks pretty comfortable.
“Umm…” Kyuhyun couldn’t think of anything. His lame excuses just had to fail him this time.
“I…don’t have any place to live in…” Ryeowook said. Kyuhyun sighed. He talked. God gracious, he said something he shouldn’t have. Kyuhyun was about to die.
“Awww…you poor poor thing…” Ahra said while pouting. Kyuhyun was left mouth hanged open.
“W-w-w-w-w-wait…!” He yells, catching their attention, thought the way he said that was pretty intriguing. “S-s-s-s-so…”
“If you told me earlier I could’ve prepared a house for him,”
“Huh?” Ryeowook and Kyuhyun asked in unison.
“What? You can’t expect him to live here! Grandma won’t like it,”
“My point exactly! That’s why I hid him!” Kyuhyun still insisted with a lame excuse.
“Yeah but grandma’s not here and you didn’t have to hide him from me,” Ahra replied with a sigh. “I’m not like grandma Kyu,”
“Well, I thought you were,”
“Oh shut up,” Ahra hissed and snarled. Ryeowook looked at both of them and couldn’t help but interrupt their little argument.
“Um…I can stay in the living room…or just sleep on the floor-“ Ryeowook started with a bit of hesitation but was cut off.
“No, darling! You’ll sleep in a bed but because you can’t live in this house, you can stay in another house,” Ahra announces.
“Another house?” Ryeowook and Kyuhyun asked in unison again.
So, this another house. Of course it’s completely obvious what it is. But, another house. House. “God, I swear she’s crazy…” Kyuhyun whispered, massaging his head a little bit.
“I think your sister is really cool!” Ryeowook told him with a big smile.
“You don’t know who you’re talking about,” Kyuhyun immediately disagreed.
“Guys, the car’s here!” Ahra yelled from downstairs and Kyuhyun made his way down immediately with Ryeowook following him from behind.
“Whaaa…what is that??? It looks weird,” Ryeowook gasps as he saw the car they were gonna ride in and was obviously fascinated but it’s weird shape.
“It’s a car,”
“Car? What’s a car?”
“It’s something you ride to go to places, like transportation,”
“Like horses?” Ryeowook asks again, this time he was touching the car. Then he gasped when he felt it was solid. Kyuhyun found it really amusing how he got so fascinated by just a car. However, it does make sense if he already lived 500 years ago.
“Yeah, you can put it that way,”
“Come on, let’s go,” Ahra said, finally arriving and going inside the front seat. Kyuhyun then peeked from the door and called Ryeowook who was still amazed by the car.
“Ryeowook, stop hitting the car,” Kyuhyun called with a bit of piss.
“Oh, okay,” Ryeowook said, hitting the car one more time before going in and was still amused by it. Kyuhyun couldn’t help but smile.
It wasn’t that long until Ryeowook finally got tired of looking out the window because he found it entertaining to look outside while they were passing by quickly. He then turned to Kyuhyun who was sitting beside him. Kyuhyun thought he won’t be able to ride peacefully any soon.
“Kyuhyun-shii…” Ryeowook called, with a sweet and gentle voice. Kyuhyun thought it was an angel.
“Y-yeah?” Kyuhyun replied but he didn’t turn to him.
“Um…where are we going…?”
“To the house you’ll be staying at,” Kyuhyun answered immediately.
Ryeowook gasps then. “I…I don’t need a house…really…I can just sleep on living room or the basement-“
“Stop it, okay? We’re going there already, you can’t decline now,”
“But,” Ryeowook tried again but he can’t find any other words to reason out.
“Geez, you’re pissing me off,” Kyuhyun said, glaring at Ryeowook.
“I am?”
Kyuhyun sighed in defeat. Oh, God, make him stop. Why am I stuck with this guy?! Kyuhyun thought, crooking his eyebrows.
“We’re here!” Ahra yelled from the front seat.
Kyuhyun went out first then Ryeowook. When they turned their heads to look at the house, they both awed almost at the same time. “W-wh-“ Ryeowook stammered but was cut off when Ahra grabbed his hands and pulled him inside after opening the gate. Ryeowook couldn’t do anything because the house looked really beautiful.
“A hanok? He’s going to live here?” Kyuhyun asked himself, still in awe.
(Just imagine it looked like this.)
“Ahra-shii, this is too much,” Ryeowook told Ahra when she let go of him.
“What? Oh, this house doesn’t cost much,”
“That’s not what I meant, I mean, I don’t really need a new house to live in,” Ryeowook reasoned the same words again. “We just met and you’re already doing this much…” He continued as he bowed his head.
“Oh my God you’re so cute!!!” Ahra squeals and he pinches the younger’s cheeks. “You really don’t have to worry, besides this is my first time seeing my evil brother helping someone so it’s fine,” She explains with a smile.
“Evil brother?”
“Yeah, Kyuhyun, he’s evil, really evil,” Ahra leaned closer to him. “Just tell me if he hurts you okay? I’ll slash his throat for you,” And she grins.
Ryeowook gasps. “You shouldn’t be saying those things!”
“Exactly! I can hear you from here you know!” Kyuhyun yelled from the kitchen. Ryeowook went to the kitchen after hearing Kyuhyun yell and his face enlightened as soon as he entered the kitchen. Kyuhyun noticing how Ryeowook was glowing, he approached him immediately. “You must like the kitchen very much,” He told him and Ryeowook only nodded as he was still in awe after seeing the kitchen. Kyuhyun thinks it’s cute how a kitchen can make him speechless.
Ahra looked at her watch and saw it was already past 5. She immediately went down to the ground then called Kyuhyun. “Kyuhyun, come on, we need to get home. Grandma’s gonna call by 6,” She informs him and Kyuhyun immediately went out of the kitchen. Ryeowook, realizing he has lost Kyuhyun’s presence, quickly ran outside and settled standing behind Kyuhyun.
“Ryeowookie, you can stay here now, you don’t have to go with us home,” Ahra told him then walked away, walking straight back to the car and waited for Kyuhyun outside.
Kyuhyun started to walk but Ryeowook started to talk. “Wait, where are you going?”
Kyuhyun turned around, stopping. “I’m going home ofcourse,” He saw how Ryeowook looked like he was scared. “You can’t come with us; you can stay here now,” He told him but doesn’t seem to be convincing enough.
“Kyuhyun-ah!” Ahra yelled from outside with matching annoying beep of the car. Kyuhyun rolled his eyes then turned around, walking to the gate but Ryeowook ran after him and tugged his shirt behind that immediately stopped. He looked at Ryeowook who was still holding his shirt.
“What’s wrong now?” Kyuhyun asked, a bit pissed now.
“I-I…my halo-“
“Kyu!” Ahra yelled again, this time there was a long honk of the car the disturbed the neighbors. Kyuhyun, startled, immediately pushed Ryeowook’s hand away and immediately ran outside. Ryeowook was surprised but before he can catch Kyuhyun again, he was already closing the gate when he looked up. The car already started to drive away and he was alone again.
“My halo…” He whispers to himself, feeling emptier than before. It’s not just because his halo is far from him but because there was no one with him. He felt so alone and empty again.
During the time Kyuhyun sat inside the car, after they had eaten dinner from a luxurious restaurant, leaning on the window, his heart was restless. He’s pretty sure that that place is safe because it’s a residence. There are a lot of people living around there. Cops are also doing their patrolling every night. Then, why did he look so scared? The house itself is pretty secured.
It was then that they reached the house, he felt someone calling him. He stopped in front of the door with her sister hurrying to get the phone when it rang. “Maybe it’s just the phone…” But no, it was something different. He had felt this before.
“Kyuhyun, grandma wants to talk to you!” Ahra called. Kyuhyun walked over, grabbing the phone from Ahra’s hand.
“Geez, why does she always look for you-oh wait, it’s because I’m saner than you,” Ahra teased while chuckling and Kyuhyun only scowled at him.
“Yes, old lady?”
“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!” His grandma yelled over the phone.
Kyuhyun sighed. “Yes, grandma?”
“That’s better, learn your manners Kyuhyun. Anyway, I hear you keep on teasing your sister, please be nicer to her,”
Kyuhyun turned beside him and glared at her sister smiling so victorious. “Old lady, may I remind you that she was born first,”
“And your point is, Kyu?”
“My point is, since she was born first, she is meaner than me! I wouldn’t tease her for nothing! She hates me grandma,” Kyuhyun reasoned and Ahra stared at him in shock. “Every day I have to go through her evilness, her craziness, her insults, she hurts me every day!”
Ahra glared then faked a vomit trying to watch his brother being so dramatic which he’s bad at. Honestly, he looks like an idiot but it was amusing. “Oh please…” She approached her brother and grabbed the phone from him. “Grandma, would you even believe someone who painted your puppy black?” She said, sticking a tongue to Kyuhyun. “Not to mention, it was your favorite puppy, a very very cute fluffy white puppy,”
“I thought it was stuffed toy,” Kyuhyun said in his defense.
“Yeah…a stuffed toy that breathes,” Unfortunately, Ahra beat him to it.
“Oh stop it you two! Kyuhyun be nice to your sister. I’m going to visit next month; I want you two to become closer,”
“Yes, grandma,”
“Yes, old lady,”
And they hung up the phone. “Not gonna happen,” Kyuhyun said.
“Exactly,” And Ahra agreed. “If that time comes, you’ll probably have wings,”
“Am I supposed to laugh? I think I forgot to laugh,”
“Oh no, I’m just stating a fact, probably a halo too,” She continued to tease him but Kyuhyun felt something from that. Halo. “I hope you get my point, you’re not that much of an idiot to not get my point,”
“You’ll die first because you were born first,”
“Does that make any sense?” Ahra mocked.
Kyuhyun couldn’t answer not because he can’t but because something’s stopping him to listen to whatever Ahra is saying. Halo. There was something he forgot about the word Halo.
“I can’t be away from my halo,” And he finally remembered what Ryeowook told him. Maybe that’s it, he thought, he tried to make me stay. God, I’m so stupid!
“Huh? Yah! Kyuhyun!” Ahra yelled as soon as he realized Kyuhyun was running away. “Where are you going?!” She asked when she followed him until the door but Kyuhyun was dashing out too fast to even hear an answer.
Kyuhyun doesn’t know though. He just felt like he needed to get there as soon as possible. He felt like something bad happened.
By the time he arrived at the hanok house where he had last seen Ryeowook, there were no lights on except for the bedroom facing the kitchen. He was relieved for a moment there knowing that Ryeowook was still here. He immediately went in calling his name. “Ryeowook-ah!” He yells and he could hear Ryeowook moving from inside the room. He reached the door and tried to open it but it was closed.
“Ryeowook, open the door,”
“I-I can’t…”
“What do you mean you can’t?” Kyuhyun asked in confusion.
“I just can’t…you can’t see me like this…”
“What?” Kyuhyun asked again, starting to lose his temper. “Just open the fucking door!” He yells.
“B-but…”
“Ryeowook, open it or I’ll break the door,” He warned, glaring at a non living thing-which is the door frame. He hoped that he had lasers so he can shoot it inside even with this thick layer coming in between.
“Just…just promise you won’t run away when you see me,” Ryeowook told him with his trembling voice. Why was he trembling anyway? Kyuhyun couldn’t seem to understand why he had to make sure he won’t run away because-ohmygod. And Ryeowook opened the door, and-ohmygod. He got to be dreaming just right then.
Ryeowook looked at Kyuhyun whose expression looked like he had seen a ghost. Ryeowook beg to differ, he surely isn’t a ghost. “W-““
Ryeowook’s eyes widened as he ran to Kyuhyun trying to catch him as he fell on the ground but he failed to. “Kyuhyun-shii!” He yelled and he shook Kyuhyun’s body in worry. Kyuhyun didn’t run away, but he fainted instead. That’s not bad. Ryeowook should’ve seen this coming when he decided to let him see his wings.
